Among the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) peoples of Canada's West Coast, whaling has been the cultural focus for millennia. Legendary Hunters - Part 9 of the four-volume series The Whaling Indians - features 28 accounts of traditional hunting life among the Nuu-chah-nulth. Drawn from a collection of oral history gathered between 1910 and 1923, these narratives present a vivid portrait of whaling from a First Nations perspective. These accounts outline methods of hunting Humpback and Gray Whales, while also detailing the long preparatory rituals which help guarantee success. Showcasing the perseverance and expertise of Native whalers on the West Coast, Legendary Hunters presents an engrossing look at a fascinating way of life.

Beginning in 1956, Stella Chess and Alexander Thomas tracked the lives of 133 children from infancy to young adulthood, examining in detail their psychological development over a twenty-five-year period. The result was the groundbreaking New York Longitudinal Study. This book, first published in 1984, presents a complete report of the study, including analyses of the data and exploration of such fundamental questions as gender differences, antecedents of adult behavior patterns, and factors that contribute to depression and other disorders. Special emphasis is given to the clinical evaluation and treatment of patients with behavioral abnormalities. The authors discuss key findings: the important role of parental guidance, the continuities and discontinuities across developmental stages, the crucial effects of temperament on psychological development, and the usefulness of a “goodness of fit” model for understanding the relationship between person and environment and for describing the evolution of behavior disorders.

Goodness of Fit: Clinical Applications, From Infancy through Adult Life

Pioneers in the systematic study of temperament in children, and its significance for pathological and normal development, Drs. Chess and Thomas have been conducting research in this area since 1956. While this volume addresses empirical and theoretical issues of the authors' work in this area, its emphasis is on presenting the ways in which the clinician can identify temperamental characteristics in diagnostic work?ups and how he or she can use this information for prevention and treatment of psychological disorders. This book is unique in its focus on the clinical use of knowledge about temperament, a subject which no other book addresses exclusively. The book is directed at the clinician in mental health ? the psychiatrist, psychologist, and social worker ? as well as the pediatrician, nurse, and educator. It may be used by experienced practitioners as well as trainees in the mental health fields.
